Hello Paul,
Your content has been an absolute fascination of mine and I feel deeply connected to it. Thank you so much.
My question comes from something of memory, a video I watched maybe 10 or 15 years ago that I can no longer find. The basis of the video was that during the missing 18 years of Jesus's life from the Bible, he traveled East and learned Buddhism, which existed thousands of years before his time, This was theorized based on his teaching showing similarities, do you believe there is any validity to this theory? It is also possible he studied under the great philosophers before his time, but I believe it shows a great comparison of ancient knowledge that has been segregated to claim that the Catholic/Christian churches are fundamentally teaching Buddhist principles.
Thank you again for all that you do, you are such an inspiration, and have motivated me to look into how to become a Priest.
Shepherd
